I know a few LVNS who graduated some time ago and haven't been able to find any nursing jobs. One works as a telemetry monitor and one works as a unit clerk. Neither of them are foreign grads, it's just a very tough market for everyone. Apply everywhere, maybe even outside of the area if you're able to move or commute. If you have any interest in behavioral health, I do see LVNS working there more than medical units. Try those too.

Good luck.

Hello, it took me 1 year of applying after I got my LVN to land my first nursing job. I desperately applied everywhere possible and got the run around/catch 22 of 1 yr exp required outside of nursing school yet you cant get that exp without getting your first job.....I also desperately tried to volunteer to no avail. I really want to emphasize how hard i tried, and how desperate I was for a job. LVN in california are slowly being weeded out and the pay is going down. It not uncommon to be paid as low as $14 hour ($3 above min wage) at some places, although thats the lowest I have seen. Right now most places are paying about $17 hr or so I would say. Your job availability are extremely limited as well, its basically SNF or Home Health.

I think your best bet would be to list your RN out of country experience on your resume and use that to get a low paying home health job. Many of the home health agencies hire people on the spot because of their high turn around and low pay. If you could get in face to face with the interviewer and explain your situation, im sure they will hire you because you do have experience. The last home health job I had was $17 hr with no benefits at all, and paid $11 hr/min wage during training. To put that into perspective, people at in and out burger make about the same.

Not where I live. There's lots of jobs for new grad LVNs that pay anywhere from $22-$33 an hour to start.

Where do you live? If that's the case, it's worth moving!
